How to make Mumbai Misal Pav Recipe

Misal Pav recipe – one of the traditional Maharashtrian dish and also a popular Mumbai Street Food! Misal is a spicy curry made with mixed sprouts or moth beans (matki) and pav are buns (laadi pav). Misal is garnished with mix farsan (mix chiwda) on the top and also some topped with onion and tomatoes.

Misal is made of various kinds and it differs from place to place. The Kolhapuri Misal is the most spiciest one also Puneri Misal is spicy and then there is Nagpur Misal, Mumbai Misal etc. Some are served with butter milk or yogurt. Mine is a Mumbai version which I have grown up eating as a child. My mother also used to make misal pav for us but now I make them for my hubby 😉 My hubby

drools over misal pav so I make regularly home.

Mainly moth bean (matki) is used for making misal or even mixed sprouts are used. At places like Pune and Kolhapur two parts of misal are made one is the dried sprouts, second is kat which is the red spicy water. You mix them the way you like them to eat. You get very good misal at some places in Pune.

There are some people who eat misal pav as their main meal. Due to sprouts it’s quite healthy and filling too. If you don’t like spicy then alter as per your taste. Goda masala or Kala (black) masala is added in making usal but if you don’t have them then add garam masala however the taste would differ.
